Lords division · 23 Jul 2002 · No. 2

Education Bill

It was moved by the Lord Kingsland that the House do insist on the amendment 12 to which the Commons have disagreed; which being objected to, the question was put thereupon, and the House divided:

The Contents have it

Majority 4

Contents: 172 Not Contents: 168

At a glance The Contents won by a margin of 4 votes. The Government's position was Not Content, and it lost.

The party breakdowns are our own analysis of the official voting records (recorded votes only; they do not describe the formal whip). How we work this out.

Peers attend divisions ad hoc, so there is no did-not-vote list. Tellers are counted in the Content and Not Content totals, unlike in the Commons.

Tellers: Lord Cope of Berkeley (Content), Baroness Sharp of Guildford (Content), Lord Grocott (Not Content), The Lord McIntosh of Haringey (Not Content).

Every vote

Contents (170)

Not Contents (166)

Tellers (4)
